The Dear Fleisher, First Look Party, one of Fleisher’s most beloved events, is back Friday, November 18! The evening is your only chance to scope out the more than 700 works of art contributed by 300 Dear Fleisher, artists before the sale opens to the public on Sunday, November 20 at 1:00 p.m. This year, you'll have the chance to meet the artists, as they join us for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and conversation to kick off Dear Fleisher weekend.

While no work will be available for purchase at the First Look Party, you will have access to a raffle of specially contributed works by acclaimed artists, including Jonathan Adler, Juliette Aristides, Henry Bermudez, Billy Dufala, Colette Fu, and Edgar Jerins, and a silent auction featuring special events such as personal tours of private art collections, and items from renowned Philadelphia restaurants, shops, and institutions. Sponsorships begin at $500 and include a special preview hour beginning at 5:00 p.m. featuring a champagne toast, as well as raffle tickets and limited edition Dear Fleisher, 2016 calendars. 

Check out this year's list of contributing artists.
